Sculpture master classes were led by Slobodan Kojić, MA, academic sculptor, founder and director of the Terra Center and former professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje, and Ivana Radovanović, PhD, assistant professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje. In front of the mentioned professors, students of FLU Cetinje Ksenija Borozan, Nikola Balević, Sara Petrović, Aleksandra Aranitović, Milica Lakićević, Dragana Petković, Željka Pestorić and Mato Uljarević were able to gain new knowledge and experience from the lectures of Professor Zdravko Joksimović from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. as well as Nikola Matsura and Aleksandar Bunčić from the sculpture department of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, who at the same time participated with their students in the program of the student camp in the Terra studio. The program of a ten-day stay in the Terra studio within the subject Academic Practice Terra was proposed as part of the regular program of the second year of the master’s academic studies of sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje within the new Bologna accreditation.

Students also participated as educators in children’s workshops organized as part of the European Museum Night program, which took place at the Terra Museum on May 14.

Since the founding of the Terra Symposium, one of the main priority axes, in addition to the presentation of contemporary art, is active participation in the field of multiculturalism and interculturalism.
